"It has even been reported that one of the pirates who held a British couple, Paul and Rachel Chandler, for 388 days has a family in England and intends joining them here as an asylum-seeker."

That bit made me chuckle.

Seems the way to go according to the article however is to travel only onboard Russian vessels. Makes you wonder if there is ever going to be any significant way of making progress against Piracy
